Lambert, Hendricks & Bavan
You brothers and you sisters
You better listen while I tell you
You don't mend your ways
You're going to end your days
Down there where brother Satan lives at
Jon Hendricks, "Meetin' Time"
Lambert, Hendricks & Ross ended when
Annie Ross parted ways in April of '62. Dave Lambert and Jon Hendricks
then recruited Yolande Bavan to replace her. Until recently, I'd
thought the resulting group left no record, but in fact, there are three
CDs available.
